Does she need a sweater? Hi again everyone, I feel silly because I've started like, 100 new threads it seems in the past few days, but you are all way more knowledgable than I am!! So, I'm sure you all know by now my Sasha is coming home to me on the 23rd, she is my first Yorkie (and dog for that matter). I read that a lot of you put clothes on your babies to keep them warm. I love in Las Vegas, it's stiffling during the summer, and in the winter the coldest it gets here is around 40 degrees. Obviously she will be an indoor dog, but lets say for this month (it's around the 60s temp wise here) does she need a shirt or a sweater? Will she get cold in the house or would she need one just when I take her outside? And what about the summer? We blast our AC pretty heavily due to the heat here (in the 100s), will she be cold? Please help! :rolleyes: |
congrats on your new baby........you will truely just have to see how she reacts.......she will shiver if cold and pant if hot........you will know.......i would have her a sweater for just in case............good luck |
I would say yes, my dog hates the AC it gets quite chilly in my house too!! Your lucky, Petsmart is having 75 percent off thier sweaters and coats and Tshirts.. they are all like 3-5 dollars... they had some really cute ones available... |
OK, I'll go check them out, as well as some little local shops others have told me about. I guess it doesn't jurt to just have one on hand in case! Thanks! |
Yorkies have thin hair like fur so I look at it as if they were human it'd be like having thin clothing on. So if I'm cold I believe they are cold. My big dog had a thick double coat of fur on so he's always hot. LoL. Please don't feel bad for asking questions. It makes you an educated puppy mom. You're going to be a wonderful Mom!! |

I would say yes too. Don't worry about starting so many threads. It shows what a good Yorkie Mommy you will. It's good to be prepared. :) |
2 Attachment(s) already have some great advice here...but being that she is a puppy and depending on how big she is...she may not be able to fit any store bought close...here is a picture of how to make her a sweater out of a tube sock... |

Congratulations on your new baby. :) I would say just watch Sasha and see if she shivers. My Hot Rod likes to be warm and under blankets while Maggie May is hot blooded and will climb out from under the blankies and sleep in the wide open. |
